For those of you who like to worry about different things now
■nd then, If the same old ones about dying, buying groceries
and paying rent are getting tedious, maybe we could spend a few
minutes sulking about the fuddy-duddy rule they passed to make
members of the New York Stock Exchange behave themselves.
Not that It's easy to worry about the stock exchange. You
have to have a few bucks Involved to get up a good wrinkle and
frown, and I would not know how to buy stocks and bonds on the
credit, and that means I don’t really care if those folks behave
or not.
But It does seem sad that in this time of pressures and worries,
rising interest rates and actions and reactions among stocks and
bonds and the values thereof, the boys can’t have a little fun without
having to pay a SI,OOO fine.
What happened was, the members have been ordered to re
frain from:
Dueling with water pistols.
Launching gas-filled balloons.
Anointing each other with talcum powder.
Engaging In any other horseplay that disrupts business.
Not mentioned, so I guess It’s still all right, are hot foots,
letting the air out of tires, and watching certain gals go down
the street.
Like I say, I don’t expect many of you to get all upset over
the new ruling, and I can say it some more, I don’t care how
they carry on up there, either, but 1 thought you might like to
see that the poverty belt isn’t the only place plagued by killjoy
rules and guidelines.

If a Maddox proposal of a record

if Lester Is forbidden to run
again, the only thing left Is for
the first lady to start trying
to decide which hat to chunk
In the ring. She might even have
to go out and buy a new one,
just for ring tossing, Lester,
goody-goody.
This is a different approach
from the one Lester made a
few months ago, when he prom
ised to resign if his program
was accepted by the Assembly,
and somehow his latest one is
not nearly as enticing as the
first one.
It won’t hurt a thing for Mlz
Virginia to run, mind you. She
ought to enjoy it, and if she
wins that’d put Lester in the
kitchen, making beds, cleaning
the closets, etc., and there’d
be nothing wrong with that.

Maddox Keeps On
Fighting For A
Better Georgia
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox, whose pro
posed tax revision and spend
ing program designed to keep
Georgia moving forward has
twice been rejected by the Gen
eral Assembly, has not thrown
in the towel. Not by a long
shot. In fact, he has taken up
where he left o.’f when he call
ed a special session of the leg
islature in which he was quick
ly rebuffed.
For example, in a recent
speech to the Americus Civitan
Club the governor said Georgia
will take a backward step as a
result of the refusal of the spe
cial session to pass his tax
programs. He added:
“The 1960 General Assembly
had two chances to help you
and and all the people of this
state to stay on the road of
progress and prosperity which

NEW YORK (ED)-Contem
porary furniture has taken a
new turn. Experimenting with
new shapes and materials,
avant garde designers are do
ing their thing—coming up with
styles that are always provoc
ative, often bizarre, fun to look
at but often more laughable
than liveable.
Not that there aren't plenty
of people ready to buy the latest
—even though its appeal isn’t
always the lastingest. But for
most of us, a chair that blows
up like a life preserver just
can’t stack up against the basic
appeal of beauty-plus-comfort.
And no wonder supersonic
space-age styles leave most of
us cold; the "now” look is noth
ing if not glacial, with its stress
on steel, glass, chrome and
hard-edge plastics.
What’s missing is soft uphol
stery, rich woods and rounded
edges—the traditional comforts
of home. So it’s not surprising
that couples shopping for life
time furniture look to the past
more often than the future.
While French delicacy, Amer
ican colonial simplicity and
cent years, but they denied you
this opportunity.
“The programs I offered the
General Assembly were needed
and essential. But they said'no
to these programs . . . The Gen
eral Assembly muffed a golden
opportunity to push Georgia
forward. Instead, they decided
to hold Georgia back.”
Gov. Maddox said that in
spite of the delay, these need
ed programs for progress in
Georgia will be implemented
and that he will continue to
work for them.
“I have not turned from my
duty as I believe it to be," he
declared, “and I will continue
to use all my efforts, resources
and whatever is available to me
to see that we continue to pro
mote our state and to give her
citizens every opportunity for
progress.”
The governor cited numerous
areas in which advancements
have been made during his ad
ministration, including teacher
salary increases, penal reform,
mental health, highway con
struction programs, workmen's
compensation, service to veter
ans, promotion of tourism and
industry expansion.
Calling on all Georgians for
support of his programs, Gov.
Maddox said:
“You’ve seen what can hap
pen when we fight among our
selves. Let’s see what can be
done when we work together.”

main high on the much-wanted
list, today's big preference is
for soft traditional- a blending
of moods in an elegant manner.
And according to buyers at the
wholesale furniture markets,
where the trends are set. it’s
a look that’s going to be with
us for a while. Fashion fore
casts for next fall and winter
point strongly to the richness
of upholstery, with luxurious
fabrics and classic detail.
Thomas V. Fields, start' de
signer for Johnson Carper Fur
niture Company, one of the
handful of firms that makes the
fashions we really buy, calls
curves the key word. Design
detail in his newest lines is
based on combinations of curves
— from upholstery with curve
on-curve diamond tufting to the
graceful slope of back and arm
in major living room pieces.
The result is the quiet ele
gance that goes with tradition
— the curves of the Mediter
ranean married to the gentle
formality of classic French
luxury.

THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL, Thuisday, June 26, 196»—
Why Should I Buy Bonds?
1. For the kids’ college education, that new home,,
retirement, or other important family plans. By
buying just one bond a month for $18.75 through '
payroll deduction, an employe will have at least
$1,797 in seven years.
2. Bonds are much like an “automatic savings plan.” .
For just a few dollars a week—a sum we are un
likely to deposit in the bank—we have a regular
savings plan with the current interest rate guar
anteed. It can never go lower. The interest rate
for regular Series E Bonds is now 4.25 per cent.
3. Employes should find away to pay themselves
for their work in addition to paying their credi
tors. Savings Bonds provide that opportunity and
away to “multiply" your money easily by invest
ing small monthly sums.
4. Savings Bonds are indestructible. If they are lost,
stolen or destroyed, bonds will be replaced free
of charge. p
5. There are income tax advantages. Series E Bonds
are exempt from state and local income taxes.
Federal tax may be deferred until you redeem the
bond.
G. While multiplying your won money, you also in
vest in a better America. The United States, in
effect, is borrowing money from you to help
make a better and stronger America. You be
come a shareholder in the country’s future, and
earn dividends on your investment.
